Paper patterns and cat claws don't really go together, do they?

I haven't disappeared in a puff of smoke in case anyone was wondering (probably not, eh?!), I'm working on a top secret (in my mind) project at the moment, which I can't share just yet but all will be revealed soon...

Not that Merky is letting me work -
he's sitting on the pattern pieces, the rascal.

In the meantime, can anyone who has made a Sewaholic Cambie dress tell me what type of fabric you used for the lining? That's my next big project I think - my very first go at lining a dress and I've seen various things on t'interweb - cotton batiste  viscose, even cheesecloth but it's left me a bit confused. So any advice on here would be very gratefully received. My main fabric will be cotton if that makes any difference... I really need to start working with fabric that isn't cotton soon, expand my horizons a bit, but I have so much of it in my stash that I really need to use it up first!

New dresser for the kitchen - the Tinkers think it's for displaying them!

Is anyone doing anything for Valentine's? We've decided not to bother! Enjoy if you are... x

    Naww! Merky is so cheeky! I lined my version in cotton batiste though I am now wishing I had lined the skirt in something slippery so I can wear it in with tights...

      Isn't he just? I wear tights all the time so slippery makes more sense... but I like the idea of batiste more...

    Thanks Valerie. I've been looking up cotton voile and batiste (which are the two I'm most drawn to) and heat is really not a major problem in England (!) but I do tend to wear tights all the time with dresses... so still not sure!

    Hi Emma, I can't figure out how to reply directly to you from here so I hope you get this but yes I'm happy for you to use the photo. What exactly will you use it for, I'm intrigued!
